The Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) foam pad under the fuel tank may retain moisture and corrode the fuel tank, potentially causing a fuel leak.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

What to do

McLaren will notify owners, and dealers will remove the NVH foam pad from the vehicle, and inspect and replace the fuel tank -- as necessary -- on 720S, 570GT, and Senna models. A remedy has not yet been yet finalized for GT models.
